  Help

  SEASON 2025
  We need help in maintaining the cabins, this refers to cleaning and ordering beds, this is done in the morning and you will always be accompanied.
  Especially this year we need help in our greenhouse for maintenance and care
  Some days the maintenance of the cabins is not carried out since there are no clients, so you can carry out any activity that we need in our farm (clean place where sheep sleep, fix gardens, among other similar) or enjoy your day if you wish.
  
  ***MES DE JUNIO***
  
  Este mes necesitamos ayuda especial para limpiar invernaderos, patios y corrales en preparación para la nueva temporada turística. Además, es temporada de jardinería, limpieza de patios y mantención de cabañas, por lo que hay varias tareas importantes por hacer. En las cabañas, la demanda de asistencia es menor ya que hay menos turistas en estos meses. Si estás interesado en colaborar, ¡escríbenos!
  
  This month, we need extra help to clean greenhouses, yards, and animal pens in preparation for the upcoming tourist season. It's also gardening season, which means there's plenty to do, including yard work and cabin maintenance. Cabin assistance is currently less demanding since there are fewer tourists during these months. If you're interested in helping out, send us a message!
